Singapore Stock Market Today, 9 December 2025: STI Edges Higher as Fed Cut Hopes Clash With Weak Hiring Outlook
Singapore’s stock market opened Tuesday on a cautiously positive note, with the Straits Times Index inching higher after a weak start to the week, as investors balanced strong GDP growth, softer hiring data and expectations of a closely watched US Federal Reserve rate cut. After falling 0.5% on Monday to close at 4,507.08, the STI started Tuesday’s session slightly in the green, up 2.69 points to 4,509.77 at the open. Market breadth improved, with 94 gainers outpacing 54 decliners on early turnover of about 59.3 million shares worth S$83 million, as traders cautiously added exposure ahead of the Fed decision. cassette.sphdigital.com.sg+1
